The effects of progressive resistance training on bone density: a review

Article Abstract:

High-intensity resistance training, or isometric exercise, has been shown to improve bone health for older adults as well as influencing multiple risk factors for osteoporosis. Osteoporosis causes many health problems, among them approximately 1.5 mil fractures annually in the US. Bone density, muscle mass and strength have all increased when older adults have used progressive resistance training.
